<b><i>Background:</i></b> Efficacy of intravenous (IV) volume expansion in preventing contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is well known. However, the role oral hydration has not been established. The aim this work was to evaluate efficacy CI-AKI. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We prospectively randomized 225 patients undergoing coronary angiography and/or percutaneous intervention either or IV groups. Patients who have at least one high-risk...
i ne prognostic relevance of hematological parameters in cardiovascular diseases has been well demonstrated. The purpose the present study is to investigate association between parameters, particularly neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and outcomes aortic dissection (AD).Two hundred patients diagnosed with AD were retrospectively recruited compared 76 subjects ascending dilatation (AAD) 92 normal diameters. independent relation in-hospital mortality was analyzed by regression analysis.The...
Early diagnosis and identification of high-risk non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is an important issue. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) complexes are defined as various RSR' patterns on 12-lead resting electrocardiography (ECG). Previous studies revealed that fQRS related with increased ventricular arrhythmias cardiovascular mortality. The relation between mortality in acute coronary syndromes, mitral valve disease severity structural heart has been shown different studies. aim this...
Background: Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) constitutes a significant subset of acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) uncertain prognostic markers. Early risk assessment is crucial to identify MINOCA patients at adverse outcomes. Objectives: This study aimed evaluate the predictive capacity PRECISE-DAPT score in assessing short- and long-term prognoses presenting ST-segment elevation (STEMI) or non-ST-elevation (NSTEMI). Methods: Among 741 patients, was...
Background: Acute inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with increased in-hospital morbidity and mortality particularly among patients coexisting right ventricular (RV) involvement. High neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) an independent predictor of major adverse cardiac events in infarction. This study evaluated the relationship between NLR RV dysfunction (RVD) STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total 213...
A new version of the Global Registry Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score (version 2.0) has been released recently. The purpose present study was to assess validity GRACE 2.0 for in-hospital and 1-year mortality in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients. prospective cohort comprised 396 consecutive NSTE-ACS patients admitted a tertiary hospital between May 2012 January 2013. main outcome measure discrimination calibration performance 2.0, which were evaluated with...
CHA2DS2-VASc score has been validated in risk prediction for stroke and thromboembolism patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Association of higher venous pulmonary embolism (PE) also shown. In this study, we investigated the long-term prognostic value acute (APE).Consecutive APE presenting to our emergency department were retrospectively recruited. Patients AF who died secondary causes other than PE excluded from study. The severity index (PESI) calculated.Two hundred seventy seven...
Objectives . Coronary collateral circulation (CCC) may limit the size of right ventricular (RV) infarcts but does not fully explain relationship between CCC and clinical adverse events in patients with inferior STEMI. In this study, it was aimed to assess preintervention angiographic evidence outcomes STEMI who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods A total 235 presented within first 12 hours from symptom onset were included. artery (RCA) before angioplasty...
It is unclear whether changes in mean platelet volume (MPV) are associated with total mortality acute coronary syndromes. We investigated the change MPV predicts patients non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). retrospectively analyzed 419 consecutive (19 were excluded). The remaining categorized as survivors (n = 351) or nonsurvivors 49). Measurements of performed at admission and after 24 hours. difference between 2 measurements was considered (ΔMPV). end point study...
Recent studies have shown that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness is increased in patients with hypertension. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relation of EAT resistant hypertension (RHT).Study participants (n=150) were classified into three groups according their office and ambulatory blood pressure measurements: RHT (n=50), controlled (CHT, n=50), normotension (NT, n=50). All underwent a transthoracic echocardiographic examination measure thickness.Clinical biochemical...
The biochemical analysis of pericardial fluid for differentiating transudate from exudate is often ordered and interpreted according to the criteria extrapolated pleural effusions. However, validity this discrimination when applied effusion under question.Patients who underwent pericardiocentesis between January 2004 February 2014 were identified. Among them, 216 had essential medical records available constituted study population. parameters specifically analyzed following: lactate...

Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is caused by reduction in the elasticity of pericardium resulting impaired diastolic filling heart. All types CP were thought to be irreversible past. This led a belief that all patients with should undergo pericardiectomy. However, at present, it well established selected can treated without pericardiectomy, leading concept transient CP. Clinical improvement spontaneous or accomplished empirical medical therapy administered for several months. As chronic form,...
